Both the westbound and eastbound traffic will take Exit 540 to SH-46/Bandera Road to enter the access roads. The traffic will continue through the Highway 46 intersection and get back onto I-10 at the next entrance ramps.

The new Highway 46 bridge over the interstate will be closed during the construction, and traffic will have to turn on the access roads.

According to previous KSAT reports, the work is part of TxDOT’s I-10 Kendall Extension project, which is upgrading frontage roads and overpassing from SH 46 to Fair Oaks Parkway.

A complete list of lane closures and other project information can be found on the TxDOT San Antonio district’s blog.
